CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of fire or injury to
persons or damage to the telephone, read and follow
these instructions carefully:
Use only three AA alkaline batteries (not included).
Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not
burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type,
if burned or punctured, they could release caustic
material which could cause injury.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not
to create a short circuit. Do not allow conductive
materials such as rings, bracelets or keys to touch
the battery. The battery or conductor may overheat
and cause harm.
Use the battery identified for use with this product
only in accordance with the instructions and
limitations specified in this manual.
Observe proper polarity orientation between the
battery and metallic contacts.
Do not disassemble your telephone. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside. Refer to qualified
service personnel for servicing.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service digital
subscriber line (DSL) through your telephone line,
you must install a DSL filter between the telephone
line cord and the telephone wall jack. The filter
prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by
DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service
provider for more information about DSL filters.

Important safety instructions
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and injury, including the following:
Read and understand all instructions.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning.
Do not use this product near water such as near a bath tub,
wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub or swimming pool, or in a
wet basement or shower.
Do not place this product on an unstable table, shelf, stand or
other unstable surfaces.
Slots and openings in the back or bottom of the telephone base
and handset are provided for ventilation. To protect them from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked by placing
the product on a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or rug. This
product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register. This product should not be placed in any area where
proper ventilation is not provided.
This product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply in your home or office, consult your
dealer or local power company.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not install
this product where the cord may be walked on.
Never push objects of any kind into this product through the
slots in the telephone base or handset because they may touch
dangerous voltage points or create a short circuit. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this
product, but take it to an authorized service facility. Opening
or removing parts of the telephone base or handset other
than specified access doors may expose you to dangerous
voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can cause
electric shock when the product is subsequently used.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
an authorized service facility under the following conditions:
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
If liquid has been spilled onto the product.
If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
If the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operation instructions. Improper adjustment
of other controls may result in damage and often requires
extensive work by an authorized technician to restore the
product to normal operation.
If the product has been dropped and the telephone base
and/or handset has been damaged.
If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an
electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of
the leak. Under certain circumstances, a spark may be created
when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet, or when
the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event
associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user
should not plug the phone into a power outlet, and should not
put a charged handset into the cradle, if the phone is located
in an environment containing concentrations of flammable or
flame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A
spark in such an environment could create a fire or explosion.
Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen
without adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning
solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.
Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when
it is in normal talk mode.
